Capítulo 2467: Chapter 2403: The Fire Before the Grave
“Moreover, you don’t know what kind of woman Mother Xinian was; she was truly a good woman, and also a good mother. After marrying into the ng Family, she always treated with respect and care, and was gentle and considerate towards Chao Jun. They truly had a very happy period together. Later on, Nian Che appeared, and from the start, he went ho with a sullen face, causing a scene, implying that Chenger shouldn’t have married Chao Jun while he was away from ho, and he talked a lot about their childhood.”
At that ti, did they not notice anything amiss when things escalated to this point?
Old ng said, “We really didn’t think much of it then. We thought they were truly just siblings who got along well. It was natural for the brother to be upset that his sister got married while he was away and couldn’t attend.”
Chiang Xiao was speechless.
If they were normal siblings with a close relationship, how could it be possible not to inform the brother of such a significant event like a wedding?
It was abnormal from the start.
Old ng didn’t intend to delve much into their past emotions, and said briefly, “Ever since that incident, Chenger would occasionally go out, and later on, she seed a bit absent-minded and wasn’t as attentive to family matters as before, which made Chao Jun sowhat suspicious.”
“Suspicious? Suspicious of Nian Che?”
“This…actually, Nian Che was supposedly not in Capital City at that ti.”
Not in Capital City?
Then who was ng Chaojun suspicious of?
“I didn’t know much about their situations back then,” Old ng said, “Only later, when Chenger passed away, Chao Jun beca ill for a full half month from the day she died. Chenger’s funeral arrangents were actually handled by along with ng Sheng’s parents, and later…”
He paused here.
Chiang Xiao had a hunch that he was about to ntion Nian Che.
“Nian Che went to the cetery and yet an accident occurred. It was said that he wanted to pour a bottle of wine in front of Chenger’s grave as tribute, but ended up using a high-proof wine, and when he splashed it onto the white candle fla, the fire surged up and burned his face.”
Chiang Xiao listened, heart racing.
“No way! How is that possible?”
How could sothing like that happen?
When wine is poured over candle flas, shouldn’t the fire be extinguished? What kind of high-proof wine would suddenly ignite like that?
This is simply horrifying.
Old ng shook his head and said, “I only heard from the doctor, who said that this was roughly what happened. At that ti, he was wearing a scarf; the scarf was made of wool, covering his face, so it burned fiercely once ignited. Also, that bottle of wine was later believed to be the kind used for lighting lamps, and he was already drunk himself that day, so he wasn’t very clear-headed.”
Chiang Xiao never expected that the truth behind Nian Che’s disfigurent would be like this.
In front of Nian Chengcheng’s tomb? Burned his own face?
Who could be blad for that?
If superstitious, one might even say he must have done sothing to wrong Nian Chengcheng, causing such a bizarre incident.
“Couldn’t it be that Nian Che, because he was injured in front of Mother Xinian’s grave, vented his anger on her and the ng family?”
Old ng was lost in mories.
He recalled the situation when he saw Nian Che that day.
“You say I’m a bit afraid of Nian Che, perhaps because I always rember when he ca to the courtyard, I saw him from afar. At that ti, Xinian was playing alone in the courtyard. I was originally going to find him to go ho, and then I saw Nian Che. Nian Che was standing behind a tree, staring at Xinian for a long ti. Then I saw him start walking towards Xinian, pulling out a handkerchief from his pocket.”
